I don't let anyone in my house but I would gladly setup a few chairs, picnic umbrella, folding table and a tray if frosty beverages on the front lawn. Why the front? Maybe some neighbors will join in and we can have a science block party with music, balloons, and Mr. Wizard/Bill Nye style physics demonstrations.
Cool idea in theory, will be immediatly overrun with people trying to discuss phrenology in reality
I have this notion that one day it would be nice to be neighborly enough to just put out a sign that says “fresh coffee”, “brunch”, “Beer on tap” or whatever as a signal that people should drop by for a chat.
But I’m not really in my neighborhood’s demographic. It’s an older neighborhood, and the only folks close to my age seem like extreme introverts.You know how some people are really into.putting up flags? Some hang pride flags, others political flags or country flags, etc. I say you should hang a flag of your favorite hobby (assuming PG rated). Into D&D? Hang a D&D flag. Maybe one of those introverts will be curious enough to say "nice flag", and you take it from there.
As a former Jehovah's Witnesses turned atheist, you all have fun, but I'm not spending my Saturday knocking on doors anymore.
I'd tell them there is almost no water on venus, that it's like thousands of times dryer than the sahara. Until they have a scientific explanation for an alternative biology that is not water based and can survive in air, it's far more likely phosphine is created by some abiotic process.
I do find it funny because this whole hysteria about life on venus is so silly. There is no reason to assume phosphine is being created by a completely alien, non water based biology. But they want to believe and/or sell clicks.
I do this to my boss and I think it annoys him as well.
I share something cool I observed in the lab "So how does this relate to the project goals?" "It doesn't! I just thought it was cool and wanted to share."
Science says there are multiple realities. Can science please take me to this one?
I would tell them to leave because any unsolicited person at my door is a complete stranger and potential threat
I don't let strangers in my home
